Working with Inti Wara Yassi in Bolivia, Quest4Change helps to protect, rehabilitate, and where possible re-releases into the wild animals that have been rescued from ill treatment and inhumane captivity.
- Volunteer working in Bolivia
What's the problem? Animals in Bolivia are often kept illegally, exotic animals are traded on the black market with little care as to their well being, they have often been abused which can result in permanent disabilities meaning that they would die without our help.
How Quest4Change helps: We have been working with Inti Wara Yassi since 2003, providing much needed financial and volunteer support. Volunteers have spent thousands of man hours caring for, feeding and rehabilitating 1,000 of rescued animals from Monkeys to Pumas. When re-release into the wild is not a possibility our aim is to make their lives as comfortable as possible through the construction of bespoke cages.

Are You Suited to Working in an Animal Sanctuary?
If you love animals and want to stand up for animal rights, you may want to explore the possibilities of volunteering in an animal sanctuary or for an animal rights organisation. This is a great option for people who are looking to make a career out of caring for animals but need more hands on experience with animals.
To work in an animal sanctuary you need to have a huge love of animals. The work can be hard and somewhat draining, so a true desire to help animals will make this so much easier. As well as loving spending time with animals, it is important to be compassionate. Rescued animals have sometimes been through hard times. They may be traumatised and have behavioral problems. Patience and empathy are needed to help these animals.
